Second kidney stone
- Strategy
- Patient journey
On April 23rd 2025 I woke up with severe pain on my left side which resulted in my dad taking me to the emergency room to be told it was period cramps. The morning of the 24th I woke up ran errands and everything was good until later in the evening the pain came back more severe. My dad took me to a different emergency room where I was told I had a kidney stone just take Tylenol drink water and pass it okay cool. Passed the stone and everything’s great- come today (April 23rd 2026) I wake up with pain on my right side and chalked it up to my period and took some midol and a hot bath I ended up having to hold the trashcan in the bathtub to not puke everywhere as I was shaking so bad I could not stand I went back to bed and got in the bath again later to see if I could get the pain to resolve which it did not. I put my pajamas on and asked my brother to drive me to the emergency room and on the way there I puked on the side of the road. Made it to the emergency room and got iv zofran and a ct scan which revealed a kidney stone on the right side this time. Was given iv tormodol and a prescription for 7 lortab and 7 flomax. I am in so much pain I cannot sleep and I want to do nothing but scream and cry as I wait for this bitch to pass. My birthday was also yesterday which is just a fuck you from my kidneys I guess

I feel your pain dude. My 1st kidney stone was on my 16th birthday. The ER also thought it was period cramps but I was adamant it was not and wanted the pain to go away. And because I asked for pain meds I was dismissed as a drug seeker. Only after 4 hours in the er with no change they finally got a CT scan and saw it was a huge stone.
Do you also sweat like a pig?? I feel like I’m boiling
I do not. But once the pain hits 10/10 I puke and puke and puke. To the point im sweating.
